Madonna responds to deadmau5, 'from one mouse to another'

deadmau 5 vs. Madonna: The feud continues and concludes on Twitter

Person-to-person or Madge-to-mau5 — never underestimate the value of rational discussion.

Earlier this week, electronic musician Deadmau5 launched a rant against Madonna on both Twitter and Tumblr, criticizing the pop star’s appearance at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” Madonna, who was introducing Swedish DJ Avicii, asked the audience at the EDM festival this weekend — Molly being slang for the drug MDMA (and MDMA being the inspiration for Madonna’s latest album title).

“That’s your big message to ultra attendies? hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? F–k off,” Deadmau5 posted on Facebook yesterday. “We’ve taken EDM so far in the past decade. It really hurts me to see rampant ADVOCATION of extreme bullshit lifestyles to a genre that spans pretty much any age gap these days. … Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.”

The opining continued. By Monday afternoon, the Niagara Falls, Ont., musician was back on Twitter, this time writing to Madonna: “You’re a role model to 100’s of millions. You have a powerful voice, EDM could use your positive influence, not ‘molly’ talk.”

@MadonnaMDNAday You're a role model to 100's of millions. You have a powerful voice,EDM could use your positive influence, not "molly" talk.

And, through some weird quirk of Madonna’s album promotion schedule, she responded.

Madonna doesn’t fuss with Twitter. But March 26, the pop superstar was online — albeit for a short time — answering questions at @MadonnaMDNADay as part of a fan chat. We learned that she’s never worn a snuggie (“but Lola has”) and that snowboarding lessons are on her bucket list. And she also sent a special reply to Deadmau5, Tweeting him a classic photo of her wearing Mickey Mouse ears that bore the following message:

“From one mouse to another. I don’t support drug use and I never have. I was referring to the song ‘Have You Seen Molly’ written by my friend Cedric Gervais who I almost worked with on my last album …”

Deadmau5, in turn, accepted Madonna’s statement. “Fair enough,” he Tweeted back. “I was just voicing my concerns as I usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally.” He later added, “Regardless, just be a little more aware of what you *should* represent at EDM events, and ill watch my mouth.”

The two musicians appeared to make peace — Madonna even sealed her words with a “broken pinkie swear” and a photo of her literally broken pinkie finger. “Communication is always best,” she wrote the Juno nominee. “You should have called me first, we could have cleared it up ‘privately,'” she Tweeted, which would suggest getting in touch with Madonna is as simple as a quick search through the Yellow Pages. (Now you know.)

Apart from all the peace, love and broken pinkie swears, Madonna’s fan chat involved an appearance from least one more Canadian fanboy, Justin Bieber. Madonna’s a fan herself, apparently. That’s what she said in response to one Twitter follower who asked her opinion of the Biebz. “He’s awesome. I’m a huge fan. I love it when he raps,” wrote Madonna — which, in turn, generated some returned compliments from Bieber.”Seeing that is a huge honor. Yours is a career artists dream of. Congrats on the new album!” wrote the teen star, laying the ground work for the following:

“Come and join me on stage when I’m on tour when we are in the same city,” said Madonna, going on to congratulate him for new single, Boyfriend, which hit No. 1 that day.
